Pulmonary hernia (PH) is an uncommon condition. We report a case of PH secondary to thoracic surgical intervention. In addition to the rarity, the peculiarity of the case is given by the clinical course as it is characterized by a clinical latency before the onset. The patient showed risk factors such as obesity and poliomyelitis infection sequelae. We also reviewed the literature about this topic.
肺疝(PH)是一种罕见病症。我们报告一例继发于胸外科手术干预的肺疝病例。除了罕见性之外,该病例的特殊性还体现在临床病程方面,其特征是发病前存在临床潜伏期。该患者存在肥胖和脊髓灰质炎感染后遗症等风险因素。我们还回顾了关于这一主题的文献。
